Are we really in the Pacific Northwest?

So, no shit, the weather has been better here, in Portland, Oregon, than nearly anywhere in the country save Sunny San Diego. Today, when I left work, the temperature gage in my car read 63 degrees. SIXTY-THREE!!!!! IT'S FEBRUARY! The past three Saturdays have been great weather as well. Instead on spending those days on the trainer watching movies, I have been out there, actually outside. Most importantly, I have not been freezing my ass off. This makes training so much better. Today I wore shorts on my run. SHORTS!

In lieu of this, training has been going really well. I feel like the consistency I have been able to get has really allowed me to make some good strides, especially in the pool. As well, Scott, my coach has been invaluable. As of now...all things are good.

We also got a cat a couple weeks ago. I will post pics soon. Her name is Four-Leaf Clover or just Clover if you need something shorter.
